He’s literally the opposite of everything Stephen Silas. Rockets will be in good hands.
More usage for Al-P

Draymond went from competing against the Lakers as a Warrior player to volunteer Lakers assistant coach in like less than 24 hours. Impressive turnaround.

Miami was one of the worst offensive teams in the league during the regular season. Then they lost Herro and Vic and yet here they are.
Playoff Jimmy and Spo are special.

Herro gets hunted all the time on the other end of the court.
His absence has allowed better defenses to be put up by Miami.
Everyone knows their role and they have The Butler as their leader.
Kevin Love was a yuuuge pickup for them at the deadline.
They’re not some regular-degular 8th seed just happy to had made it.

Crazy how Vincent and Martin have picked up the offensive contributions for the injured guys while also providing very good defense.

They were 14 games behind Milwaukee
13 games behind Boston
What is the threshhold for us to be impressed?

its pretty insane. number 8 seed beating a fully healthy number 1 seed at home without one of their top 3 players
but its only one game.

Nope! Keep all the same energy y’all had all year long. Don’t try to rewrite the narrative now.
And don’t even put this under the category of receipt pulling. A month later, now they aren’t just some happy to be here 8th seed..

Because the lakers are down 1-0. Miami is up 1-0.

i called it from the beginning of the season that the lakers were going to be a good team despite their w/l record. they were competitive in their losses. once the midseason trade happened and the team played well when bron was out, you started to see how good they really were.
no disrespect, but if you watch the game and analyze it, you knew they were a good squad. remove the hot take and bs aside, you saw the talent they had and you can never count out a team with two hall of fame players. a motivated and healthy AD with bron is a tough out

"OK, people - we just had one of the most disappointing flameouts in NBA playoff history. We need a new coach who definitely won't let something like that happen."

You could say the same about the Heat. Their roster is basically identical to the roster that took them to the ECF last year. We're acting like they made the ECF with stars that are no longer there. Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome that Jimmy is carrying them like he is, but my comment was about the media overdoing it. All you see is "the EIGHT SEED Miami Heat win game 1...did we mention they were the EIGHT SEED???"

yes, to the casual viewer. you know not everyone that is watching are following the sport like most in here. that is how you market the heat gms. you build storylines and scripts so it is sports entertainment that people can follow from game to game.
do you just want them to say the nba is showing a game between the boston celtics and miami heat? where is the draw in that?
lakers are never "underdogs" and "cinderellas"
they are showtime and should be presented as that. they are top in the business regardless of record.
